1 Third Quarter CY 2012 RPMES Report

Third Quarter CY 2012 RPMES Report

The Regional Project Monitoring and Evaluation System (RPMES) report is prepared on a quarterly basis to provide an overall view on the status of major program/project (P/Ps) implementation in the region. The report is based on the submission of eleven regional line agencies (RLAs).

I. CY 2012 Major Programs/Projects For CY 2012, there are 46 major P/Ps with an aggregate cost of Php 10.633 Billion of which about Php 5.9 billion or 55.52 percent are new P/Ps, Php 3.9 billion or 37.52 percent are multi-year projects, and Php 0.740 billion or 6.96 percent are carryover projects. In terms of cost, the economic development sector has the highest at 51.21 percent or Php 5,445 billion, followed by the infrastructure sector at 27 percent or Php 2,794 billion, and the social sector having the least at 18.68 percent or Php 1,985.883 billion. Also included are rehabilitation and reconstruction projects under the Strategic Action Plan (SAP) on areas affected by typhoons “Pedring” and “Quiel” in 2011 amounting to 4 percent or Php 407 million.


In terms of funding source, 67 percent is locally funded while 32 percent is foreign assisted. The foreign- assisted projects are: (a) Second Cordillera Highland Agriculture Resource Management Program (CHARMP II), Php 3.2 Billion, (b) Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support Program (ARISP), Php 903 Million; and (c) Rural Micro-Enterprises Promotion Program (RuMEPP), Php 1.8 Million.

II. Project Implementation Status For the third quarter, the overall status of project implementation is 43 percent, a 10 percent increase from the second quarter. The SAP projects posted the highest accomplishment followed the social sector, then the infrastructure sector. The economic sector’s low performance is the due to the delayed implementation of its banner project, the CHARMP 2. (Please refer to Annex A for the detailed status of the 46 projects) Projects identified under the SAP of areas affected by typhoons Pedring, Quiel and Juan posted an accomplishment of 96.41 percent, most of which are roads and school building projects. The Social Sector obtained an overall accomplishment of 52.82 percent. The projects reported under the sector are DSWD’s Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), DepEd’s Red and Black Schoolbuilding Program, Rehabilitation of School Building including Water Sanitation Facilites and Philippines’ Response to Indigenous and Muslim Education (PRIME), DOH’s Health Facilities and Water System Projects and foreign-assisted Cordillera-wide Strengthening of Local


Health System for Effective and Efficient Delivery of Maternal and child Health Service. The Infrastructure Sector had an overall accomplishment of 47.09 percent, composed of DPWH’s priority roads and bridge projects. These priority roads are mainly laterals that link CAR to Regions I and II. The Economic Sector posted an overall accomplishment of 45.57 percent. The sector’s accomplishment is relatively the lowest due to the negative slippages incurred by two of its major projects, these are: DA’s foreign-assisted project Second Phase of Cordillera Highland Agricultural Resource Management Project or CHARMP 2 costing about Php 3 Billion, and DENR’s National Government Priority, National Greening Program (NGP) costing about Php 124 Million. The other projects under the sector are DAR’s Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support Project (ARISP III), DA’s Farm-to-Market Roads, NIA’s Irrigation Projects, DTI’s One Town One Product Program (OTOP) and Shared Service Facilities SSF, and DOST’s completed Small Enterprises Technology Program (SETUP), and Packaging and Labeling Project.

The overall performance during the quarter translates to four (4) P/P completed – the SETUP of DOST, two (2) sections of the Abra-Kalinga Road, and Gurel-Bokod-Kabayan-Buguias-Abatan Road, eight (8) P/P are ahead of schedule, 20 are on track, and 14 behind schedule. Of the 14 projects reported behind schedule, 11 projects incurred negative slippages less than negative 15 percent. The common reason reported was due to inclement weather/typhoons in the project area. Agencies have adopted catch-up plans to put the projects on track. The DA implemented CHARMP 2 had a negative 26 percent slippage because it underwent another NEDA ICC process for project reconfiguration to address the issue on LGU counterpart. CHARMP will have to retarget its work schedule once reconfiguration has been in effect. The National Greening Program (NGP) also experienced a big slippage of negative 19.63 percent due to change in procurement process. The NGP also adopted a catch-up plan to put the project on track. The Philippine Response to Indigenous and Muslim Education (PRIME) of DepEd, is the most problematic project that has a negative 51 percent slippage. DepEd acknowledges the delay and has undertaken actions to put the project on track.

III. CY 2012 Priority Sectoral Programs/ Projects From the 46 programs/projects, eight (8) were identified as priority sectoral programs/projects by the sectoral committees and tagged as their banner projects. These programs/projects with an aggregate cost of Php 5.3 billion are being closely monitored by the RPMC. These were selected based on the criteria set during the RPMES national forum: (a) foreign- assisted projects (FAP/ODA), (b) interprovincial, (c) large scale cost, (d) national priority, critical projects by the Office of the President (OP), and (e) regional priority. These programs/projects are as follows:

1. Second Cordillera Highland Agricultural Resource Management Project (CHARMP 2) 2. Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) 3. Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support Project, Phase III 4. Kabugao-Solsona, Apayao-Ilocos Norte Road 5. Kabugao-Pudtol- Luna- Cagayan Boundary Road 6. Cordillera-wide Strengthening of Local health System for Effective and Efficient Delivery of

Maternal and Child Health Services 7. National Greening Program 8. Red and Black School Building Program

Of the eight (8) priority P/Ps, five (5) have been inspected/validated, while the remaining three (3) are scheduled for inspection by the RPMC before the year ends, these are CHARMP, 4Ps and the Cordillera-wide Strengthening of Local Health Systems for Effective and Efficient Delivery of Maternal and Child Health Services. The JICA-assisted Cordillera-wide Strengthening of Local Health Systems launched in the first quarter has accordingly procured medical equipment for the provinces of Abra and Apayao. (Please refer to Annex B for the details of the eight priority sectoral programs/projects)


IV. RPMC Project Site Inspections

An inspection/validation of the Kabugao-Pudtol-Luna-Cagayan Boundary Road and the Road Opening of Kabugao, Apayao-Solsona, Ilocos Norte Road (Apayao Side) was conducted by the RPMC Inspectorate Team on October 9 - 10, 2012. These are regional priority projects and major components of the Cordillera Roads Improvement Project (CRIP). The roads are among Apayao national roads upgraded from secondary to arterial classification through DPWH Memorandum dated November 2, 2011 by DPWH Secretary Rogelio Singson. This memorandum was a result of an RDC-CAR dialogue with the DPWH Secretary held August 5, 2011 in Baguio City. During the site inspection, the Kabugao-Pudtol-Luna-Cagayan Boundary Road is proceeding smoothly having a status of 64.79 percent. The other project, the Kabugao, Apayao – Solsona, Ilocos Norte Road, 0.50 percent status, was recently issued a resume order after a suspension due to recent typhoons. It has been observed that the construction of several bridges in both projects have to be programmed to make them passable. (Please refer to Annex C for Inspection Reports)

Meeting with the beneficiaries& Project field assessment


Current Implementation Issues and/or Problems Encountered (if any):

1. Delayed implementation of infra subprojects due to difficulty of LGUs in providing cash counterpart required as indicated in the NG-LGU cost sharing policy.

2. Approval of the proposed rural finance scheme/Livelihood Assistance Finance (LAF) in place of the credit subcomponent.

3. Extension of OFID Loan Agreement which will close in July 2013

Actions Taken/ Recommendations:

1. The project is waiting for the approval of the proposed NG-LGU cost sharing mix of 60%-40% for 1st-2nd class LGUs, 70%-30% for 3rd-6th class LGUs from the NEDA Board. While waiting for its approval, the Project recommended LGUs regardless of their classification to opt for the cost-sharing arrangement included in the Project Financing Agreement, where the CHARMP2 will shoulder 60% and LGUs will provide 40% equity in order to proceed with the implementation of proposed subprojects. However, only a few LGUs were able to provide counterpart based on this scheme.

To initiate implementation of 25 submitted infra subproject proposals from LGUs that could not afford said NG-LGU cost sharing scheme, fund assistance from the DA-OSEC was sought to cover 30% of the total cost of subprojects. The Project and the concerned LGUs are now waiting for the release of CFA in the amount of Php 50 million from the DA-OSEC.

As of June 2012, another batch of 71 subproject proposals was submitted to DA-OSEC for fund support in the amount of Php 89 million.

2. Since the credit scheme as a subcomponent of the original Project Design is not feasible for poor target beneficiaries in CAR, the Project proposed for the Livelihood Fund Assistance (LAF) that would assist livelihood and income generating activities of target groups. This proposal is part of the revised Project Design which is now for approval by the ICC/Government.

3. The Project requested for an extension of the loan validity to coincide with the loan closing of the IFAD loan (June 2016). Request was reiterated to DA-CO for submission to Department of Finance mid of October 2012.

Remarks: The project is waiting for the final approval of the Revised Project Design by NEDA ICC Board/ National Government.

Description:

The Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support Project (ARISP) Phase III is a foreign-assisted project of DAR, designed to provide basic support services to help develop Agrarian Reform Communities (ARCs). It is funded from a concessional loan from the Government of Japan with counterpart financing from the DAR, Local Government Units and the beneficiaries. The project timetable is from CY 2008 to CY 2014.

The project espouses the concept of integrated area development in the ARCs wherein basic infrastructure, organization / institutional, agricultural and enterprise development support are combined to produce incremental growth in productivity and income among farmers. Specifically, the project considers the provision of farm-to-market roads (FMR) and bridges, irrigation projects, post-harvest facilities, and potable water supply system under its infrastructure component.

For institutional development component, this entails the organizing and strengthening of various organizations in the ARCs to build their capabilities to operate and manage the infrastructure facilities and agri-business in a sustainable basis. The project also supports the

Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support (ARISP III)

The Regional Project Monitoring Committee (RPMC-CAR) Inspectorate Team conducted on 09 October 2012 a project-site inspection on the Kabugao- Pudtol-Luna- Cagayan Boundary Road. This is a regional priority sectoral project implemented by the DPWH-CAR regional office.

The RPMC member-agency representatives were the following:

Rene V. Valera, DILG-CAR Jerome B. Agaloos, NEDA-CAR James M. Degsi, DBM-CAR Manilyn S. Dulay, NEDA-CAR

The Team was assisted by the following DPWH Apayao 2nd Engineering District and Contractor’s representative: ADE Rustom Martinez, DPWH Apayao II Galo Aplod, OCDC Jerry Ragojos, DPWH Apayao II

Before the field inspection, the group paid courtesy to the Apayao Provincial Government officials at the Provincial Capitol in Luna, Apayao. The Team met with the Provincial Administrator Vincent Talattad and Chief Executive Atty. Xandred Claveria.

2. Project Profile

The road is a major component of the Cordillera Roads Improvement Project (CRIP) as the northern tip of the regional backbone. It traverses the municipalities of Kabugao, Pudtol and Luna in Apayao and turns east to Abulog in Cagayan. The 95.7 km. road stretch directly links the capital town Kabugao to Lower Apayao, the seat of provincial government and business growth center. The road is among the Apayao national roads recently upgraded from secondary classification to arterial through DPWH Memorandum dated November 2, 2011 by Sec. Rogelio L. Singson. This memorandum was an immediate result of the RDC-CAR dialogue with Sec. Singson held at the DPWH-CAR office on August 5, 2011.

conducted on 10 October 2012

1. The RPMC Inspectorate Team

The Regional Project Monitoring Committee (RPMC-CAR) Inspectorate Team conducted on 10 October 2012 a project-site inspection on the Kabugao, Apayao- Solsona-Ilocos Norte Road. This is a regional priority sectoral project implemented by the DPWH-CAR regional office.

The RPMC member-agency representatives were the following:

Rene V. Valera, DILG-CAR Jerome B. Agaloos, NEDA-CAR James M. Degsi, DBM-CAR Manilyn S. Dulay, NEDA-CAR

The Team was assisted by the following DPWH Apayao 1st Engineering District and LGU Kabugao staff: Antonio Baguec (PE), DPWH Apayao I Arne Paul Ligwang, LGU Kabugao Domingo Enciso, DPWH Apayao I Harold Aboran, LGU Kabugao

The group paid courtesy and held separate exit conferences with DPWH Apayao 1st District ADE Edward P. Magno and LGU Kabugao Municipal Administrator Romeo B. Tamot.

2. Project Profile

The road is a major component of the Cordillera Roads Improvement Project (CRIP) as a lateral road. It directly connects Apayao Province to Ilocos Region. It traverses the municipalities of Kabugao and Calanasan in Apayao and turns west to Solsona in Ilocos Norte. The 76.48 km road stretch is a segment of the San Nicolas-Solsona-Kabugao- Conner-Abbut Lateral Road as Apayao’s direct access to Laoag International Airport. At the Ilocos Norte side, concrete paving is being completed up to the regional boundary. The road is among the Apayao national roads recently upgraded from secondary classification to arterial through DPWH Memorandum dated November 2, 2011 by Sec. Rogelio L. Singson. This memorandum was an immediate result of the RDC dialogue with Sec. Singson held at the DPWH-CAR office on August 5, 2011. It was noted that even after the project, the whole stretch remains a gap until concreted. Likewise, seven (7) major bridges are to be constructed with a total length of 445 lm. crossing several tributaries of the Apayao River.

Project Status 0.50 %

4. Findings

Project Suspension was issued on July 1, 2012 since the contractor cannot mobilize due to series of slides and road cut along the 21 km section leading to the project site. To address this, the DPWH-CAR requested DPWH-CO to utilize savings for the removal of slides and restoration of road cuts costing Php 2.38 M. This was eventually approved and the contractor was advised to resume effective September 30, 2012. Due to the slides and road cuts, the group had to cruise Apayao River for two (2) hours using a motor-banca and hike for an hour to reach the project site.

It was found out that the road alignment follows an old logging road of which some portions were later widened by the AFP Engineering Brigade. Accordingly, the AFP had a military camp at Barangay Madatag. The area has a vast potential for agriculture, water recreation and Philippine eagle watching. The forest area along the river and within the Apayao-Ilocos Norte boundary is a perfect eagle’s habitat.

5. Comment(s)/ Recommendation(s)

The leadership of Apayao Province and MLGU Kabugao in cooperation with the DPWH Apayao I are commended for the swift conduct of a parcellary survey on August 2011 along the road line to delineate private properties from road right-of-way (RROW). This was among the conditions set by Secretary Singson prior to the issuance of the memorandum and funding release.

For FY 2013-2016, the DPWH should program the construction of the seven (7) major bridges with a total length of 445 lm. crossing several tributaries of the Apayao River. Meanwhile, the contractor should immediately resume construction work.
